Notes
'Thalia' garlic (Allium sativum 'Thalia') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer. The fragrant plants stand erect and bloom in spring and summer, which draws butterflies.
Pairs well with Ancho pepper, Armenian cucumber, and Salad burnet.
